why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

he could tell because she was sitting from right to left, instead of the normal way

wow that is noxious shit. guessing it's been around since the early 80s since both characters feel like they belong in Airplane!. or The Cannonball Run really.

seriously who are you staying friends with that posts that kind of thing? i mean normally this thread is just dummmmb naive/inspirational/hackneyed whatever where you might roll your eyes and go "oh, uncle fred," not instantly hate uncle fred and cut him out of your life.

It was a much, much older person, sort of friend from work, with a lot of chronic health problems who posted that.

It is totally noxious I agree. But let us roll the hate-train on to this fucking thing:

listening to 6 straight hours of portishead will bring anyone down (i like portishead)

He should have gone to the happy coffee shop again for his second cup.

He should have spent 6 hours peacefully staring out the window at the sunshine until a creative thought emerged far enough for him to set pen to paper.

he should have played video games all day and then felt mildly guilty but not really that bothered because there's enough books by white dudes already

what did you expect from 6 hours sitting in a featureless room

wait its not featureless there is a window to the infinite majesty of god's creation right behind his head

The utter narrowness though. 'Coffee', 'free time', 'favourite song' as gold standard requirements for creating something.

Best part of the airplane story is (I swear)

Love how all those EPIC CLAPBACK viral stories spend so many words explaining just how funny and true they are. The professor didn’t miss a beat!! We all laughed until we choked and now we’re all dead!!

all those EPIC CLAPBACK viral stories

My favorite one is where he's in the crowd at a Grand Funk concert incognito and shows up Mark Farner with an improvised guitar solo.

there's a larger phenomenon of clickbait articles that beat you over the head with how funny the thing you're about to read/watch is, at which point, if it actually were funny (which it never is anyway) they have already sucked the life out of it

Number 7 will make you rupture your bowel with laughter

Is this a trick question?

it's a riddle

The "6 hours later" gag seems pretty harmless compared to most of this thread

I've really been prepared for imagining I'm a hungry hippo...

i've never seen a facebook post "shared" by a hungry sea turtle

nyt did a good piece on working class sea turtles who voted trump, interesting perspective

Yeah, it's refreshing to see things from their point of view.

Also, I'm pretty sure a jelly fish smells different than a plastic bag.

they should just make plastic bags out of jellyfish carcasses. if we can put a man on the moon...

Now imagine you're a hungry sea turtle.

Now imagine you're a hungry sea turtle.

As opposed to a song about fingernails.

Learned so much about the human spirit from Too Fighters

wow

There's clearly at least one wall.

Ppl should stop meaning quite so well

Did you find that in a left-leaning FB group or a right-leaning FB group?

that was circulating around last year after the election. i had some variation of it hanging on my door.

(classroom door)

What about Preston and Cody?

"YOU are not going to shoot us. ... (are you?)"

Yeah, I don't think that's as shallow or empty as a lot of the stuff here.

female students: men are not able to grab you

if only they'd stop trying

I understand the cynicism but literal statements are good for, you know, children

the problem for me is that it puts the words "rapists" and "drug dealers" right next to the word "latino/a", day after day week after week. yeah there's a "not" there but it's still defining that category in relation to racists' ugliest thoughts instead of something of positive

affirmative positive statements are better but decrying the negative ones are essential

using "latino(a)" vs "latinx" suggests a lack of responsible preparation
also telling teenagers who follow islam that they aren't terrorists as their defining quality but hey

I hate to say it but a significant portion of the country still has no idea that latinx is a thing, even in that group, unless it's really wired-in teens or involved adults? I feel like my teacher friends would know but it's still seems very inconsistently known

Dude the kids would be wondering what a "latinx" even was

Dear Latinx Students,
i _DID_ google this.
